Close photo of young shaved-headed boys in saffron-orange robes with gold borders, seated in a hall during a satsang. The foreground boy on the left wears a white vertical tilak and a red bindi and has bare arms with wooden bead bands. The boy on the right wears a long orange-and-gold shawl, a multi-strand rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured cord, and has his hands folded. Several more seated boys in orange are visible behind them.

Two young boys in saffron-orange robes sit close together on a white floor during a seated gathering. The boy on the left, with a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a red dot between his brows, rests his cheek on his hand and wears a rudraksha mala with gold bead accents. The boy on the right, also with a white forehead mark, looks down beside him and holds a small brass bowl. Other seated people in orange and red robes sit behind them, with brass vessels visible on the floor. The scene appears to be a ritual or satsang setting, and no clearly identifiable a person figure is shown.

Four young boys with shaved heads sit in a row wearing saffron-orange cloth wraps and rudraksha mala necklaces, each with white sandalwood paste band across the forehead and a red bindi. The boy in front has his eyes closed in meditation with hands resting, while others gaze forward. Behind them stand a golden-yellow draped deity murti, a yellow flower garland and marigold-yellow flowers. The setting is a temple shrine with red and white painted walls and a brass lamp tray at the lower right.

Several young boys in saffron-orange shawls and white body markings stand outdoors, sharing handfuls of yellow food. A boy on the right with long dark hair, a white forehead band with red dot, a rudraksha mala and a pendant feeds a younger boy at left, who laughs with his mouth open. Older saffron-clad participants with rudraksha malas stand in the background, and a red-clad figure is visible at far right. The scene reads as a ritual food offering procession.

A photograph of young boys in saffron-orange robes seated cross-legged on woven mats in a bright hall, during a satsang gathering. The foreground boy on the right has a white forehead line and a red bindi, holds a brass bell and rests his hand on a brass plate; a boy beside him wears a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch. Other seated boys in orange and maroon robes sit in rows, and brass plates, a small silver tray, a kalasha-like brass vessel and ritual items lie on mats in front. Adults in white sit farther back. No identifiable a person figure is visible.

Two boys in front wear orange saffron robes and beaded rudraksha-style necklaces; the older boy on the right also wears a dark wristwatch. Behind them, other seated participants in orange and maroon robes and white clothing are visible, with a red cloth draped in the background and plates or offerings arranged on the floor. The boys appear calm and focused, eyes lowered or looking to the side.

A group of young boys seated on a tiled floor during a devotional ritual, dressed in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas around their necks and white sacred ash lines across their foreheads. The boy in the foreground has his hands pressed in anjali, while others sit with hands folded or raised. Brass kalashas, brass lamps, small brass bowls and plates stand on silver-toned platforms in front. Some boys wear red robes, and the scene suggests a kalpataru-darshan style satsang or puja.

A row of young saffron-robed monks sits cross-legged along a long low table during a ritual. The foreground boy, with a shaved head and white vertical tilak on his forehead, wears an orange robe, red-trimmed shawl and a dark rudraksha-style bead mala, and holds a brass kalasha-like vessel in one hand and a brass bell in the other. Behind him, other boys in orange robes with white forehead markings sit with their hands clasped or resting on laps. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks, brass bowls, white flowers and small offerings are arranged on the table in front. Red-curtained windows and a white wall form the background. The scene appears to be a puja or abhishekam-style ritual performed by young sannyasi students.
